Binibining Pilipinas International 2017 Maria Angelica “Mariel” de Leon, aside from doing her tasks as a beauty queen, now has to face the occasional bashing that comes with being one. Recently, in response to a netizen, de Leon denied that she was copying the look of Kapamilya actress Liza Soberano.

A few days ago, de Leon posted via Instagram a photo of herself with Soberano, expressing her awe at the actress’ beauty.

Just as many noticed their striking resemblance, a netizen stood out from the rest and allegedly called the beauty queen “retokada” (fixed), as reported by Philippine Entertainment Portal.
